Speaking of Jack, can anyone guess what became of Ginrummy and Sheepshead? Weren't they on that same ship that got devastated by the trunk?

Distinctive design (3 eyes, unique face when all evil, likes puffy pants(which stick out in a silhouette))
I was led to believe that racial attributes were to be ignored when discussing a character's design.

Logically, they should be dead, as the whole fleet sunk, and them being DF users (kinda), they should have sank, as well. The Minks made no mention of seeing any survivors, either.
But you know…..Oda.

Guess we'll have to see some bodies to confirm some more named kills. Unless they're part fishman/mermaid too.
I was led to believe that racial attributes were to be ignored when discussing a character's design.
Racial attributes matter when said character is among their people, they blend into the background but when you take them out of that environment (and Carrot is undoubtedly out of that environment for time being) no point talking about how she doesn't bring anything unique to the table when she clearly does in the context of the Strawhat crew. I for one can't wait to see water and electricity combine again like Chopper and Carrot did earlier against Brulee, except this time it will be Jinbei and Carrot.
-
If a panel did not mean much, it would not be there, period. A rookie artist might just draw whatever they want without a focus on what they're trying to get across. But I should think that after 25 years in his profession, Oda would have a sense of what constitutes the need for being shown on-screen, and what does not.
For example, Oda cuts out the parts with Carrot jumping up the mast and down again because the audience is already familiar with her abilities, they don't need to see her traveling to know how she gets somewhere so fast. But he has consistently shown her calling out about something from up there, and anytime Chopper or Brook was up there, they were never without Carrot right next to them.
But do these panels actually depict something unique that nobody else can do? Or are they just the same as the panels we've gotten throughout the series of various characters in the crow's nest?
And I guess since Chopper couldn't cure Luffy of that fish skin poison, that makes him a doctor unfit for the New World, too, right?
This comparison seems like some pretty heavy false equivalence. Chopper has had his moments throughout the series where his philosophy as a doctor has proven that he is worthy of being the doctor on the Thousand Sunny. That came most recently when he took initiative in saving the Minks on Zou.
!
For that specific situation on the Sunny, what could he really have done differently? He at least took initiative and went to find out exactly what was in the fish before it was eaten, because that's what he thought to do as a doctor. There isn't much he could've done with the poison after Luffy consumed that fish, because they were running low on medical supplies.
Is it really too much to ask for Carrot to get at least something similar to a real standout moment for her apparent theorized ship role?

She's the only one seen so far, so it keeps her unique, like Morgans(if he's from some bird race anyway). Even then, she's essentially just a human with a third eye, which makes her distinct among other human characters. With the mink characters, there's already a bunch of them running around even within the current arc, making Carrot just 1 of 3 furries hanging out with the crew. Pekoms does stand out a fair bit more with the beady eyes, sunglasses, and turtle mix.

Where has this jumping come in handy during this getaway? All this jumping has led to is her saying "There's something in front of us!", an informing the readers statement that multiple Straw Hats have said in the series and in this arc.
Here's a standout moment that I came up with in a few seconds. After the first warning shot comes, she proceeds to jump high into the sky, like in that Zou shot. She then sees that another cannonball is coming towards the ship, and that Daifuku is back, and that he is summoning his genie for an attack. She gets back to the ship, and is ready for it. She's able to warn Sanji to deflect the cannonball, or warn Jinbe to steer the ship, or deflect the cannonball herself. She isn't surprised by Daifuku's genie showing up, and gets the jump on him instead.
That kind of moment is something that would distinguish her from the typical informing the readers monologue.

On their own, they do not matter one bit. They have to be accompanied by other features that distinguish them from others of their race.
Which is why multiple unique humans can exist in the crew.

Franky seemed pretty impressed by it.
-
Whatever happens, it's a new sea, after a male joins a female follows. The females that have joined in the past have travelled through 3 different arcs/islands before fully confirming their spot in the crew. Nami was introduced in the buggy arc, did some sailing around with the crew before Luffy beat up the big bad in Arlong Park. Robin got introduced in Alabasta, did some sailing around in Skypeia and then the big bad Lucci and CP9 met their defeat by Luffy in Enies Lobby. Even Vivi follows this pattern to become a honorary Strawhat member. Now we have Carrot who was introduced in Zou, is doing her sailing around in Whole Cake island and the big bad guy's defeat in Wano will cement her place officially in the crew. Introducing a character in Wano to follow this same pattern just won't work this late in the game. Wano isn't an arc where you simply introduce a new nakama potential. Having a character join after the first Emperor defeat seems like they've latched themselves on to a winning crew and their place in the crew will seem cheap.

You're the one saying that among other things, Carrot has to be perfect, have made zero mistakes, to even be considered as a suitable lookout. If you're going to hold up a character to perfection, then I'll point out when another character wasn't, in fact, perfect.
For that specific situation on the Sunny, what could he really have done differently? He at least took initiative and went to find out exactly what was in the fish before it was eaten, because that's what he thought to do as a doctor. There isn't much he could've done with the poison after Luffy consumed that fish, because they were running low on medical supplies.
That's precisely my point: Carrot has been taking the initiative to keep watch ever since she took over that duty from Pedro. Every time there was at least one person up there, Carrot was that one.
Is it really too much to ask for Carrot to get at least something similar to a real standout moment for her apparent theorized ship role?
If Chopper didn't get it, Robin didn't get it, Brook and Jinbe only got it as their joining was imminent, then who knows? I'm certainly hoping she'll get something to do before they leave, considering Pedro said "Everyone has their moment."

Had to highlight that part for you for emphasis, no one gets told that without it having some pay off later on. A very powerful moment that gets overlooked.

What I imagine some people might say is that she already had her moment while using Sulong. But I still think there's something else for her to do, considering Sanji still needs to hear what happened to Pedro and whatever ends up happening with that.

Carrot's inherited his will. Maybe it was symbolism that she took over for him there as well.

Having a character join after the first Emperor defeat seems like they've latched themselves on to a winning crew and their place in the crew will seem cheap.
I keep telling people that, but they refuse to believe it. Wano will already have more characters in it than Dressrosa (All of the SHs, samurai/ninja (including those we haven't met yet), minks, Marco, the Shogun, Kaido and his entire crew (including Drake), Kidd, Killer, Apoo, possibly Weevil etc.) From a narrative perspective, that's already a nightmare. Throwing a new crewmate in there would be suicide (not to mention dumb considering all of the other stuff they would've missed out on). Carrot makes the most sense given we already have a lot of the foundational pieces in place.

Ho-HO! Something very interesting Greg brought up in his latest web article: https://one-piece.com/special/greg/detail/20180323_0871.html?l=en
"Mont-d’Or (whose design I love but don’t like writing about because of that spelling) says that the Strawhats’ ‘heads’ will be on the front page of tomorrow’s newspapers and you know what? He might be half-right. In Japanese he uses the word ‘kubi’ which suggests a ‘severed head’ but did you know? The Japanese for ‘WANTED PERSON’ is ‘shoukin-kubi’ literally ‘reward [on their] head’ meaning a bounty. So yes, if the Strawhats manage to escape, I do believe we might see their brand new ‘shoukin-kubi’ in the morning paper!"
Does this remind anyone of what happened when a certain cyborg also got saddled with a bounty? Could something similar happen here to one currently bounty-less person who invaded Big Mom's turf? -
Just more reason for her to join a revived Nox Pirates.

Jumping high is not a good enough reason for her to be a Strawhat. Multiple people can jump high. Sanji can FLY. You want to call her a lookout? Fine. But until somebody in the story calls her a lookout, let it go.

They probably won't care that Sanji will be back to "Dead or Alive" status, that stipulation was only for when they thought they'd be getting something out of it. In fact, that's another good reason why there ought to be something posted right away, especially with Morgans on the case.

It's more of an exceptional display of her position than Usopp, Chopper, Brook, and Jimbei had before they joined. And she easily jumped higher than we've seen anyone in the series jump.
You want to call her a lookout? Fine. But until somebody in the story calls her a lookout, let it go.
Why does someone need to call her that? The lookout is the person who sits in the crow's nest and tells the others what they see. It's not that I want or don't want to call her anything, its just that it's what she is. "Lookout" is the word in the english language that describes the job that she naturally seems to do on a ship.
Nobody in the story uttered the word "helmsman" in Jimbei's direction until after he joined.

Eh, if you say so, dude. I'm not sure how you can measure the height in which every character in this story has jumped but sure. Also, Usopp, Chopper, Brook, and Jinbe didn't have ANYTHING as exceptional as Carrot jumping? What are you smoking and I'll take two of them.

But somebody uttered it! I will happily let this point slide when somebody says "Gee, Carrot, you're a really good lookout!" But until then it's only speculation as to what her hypothetical role on a ship could be.

They didn't have any feat related to their role on the crew nearly as exceptional as Carrot before they joined. That's the stage Carrot is at right now. Usopp was good with a slingshot, Chopper was a doctor's assistant, we knew Brook played music but not how good he was, and Jimbei was at the helm of a ship once. Carrot was able to jump about a kilometer into the sky in order to get a good vantage point to see something.
But somebody uttered it! I will happily let this point slide when somebody says "Gee, Carrot, you're a really good lookout!" But until then it's only speculation as to what her hypothetical role on a ship could be.
Please point me to where someone said that to Jimbei before he joined. Also, it's not a hypothetical role, we're seeing it right now with our own two eyes. Even if she doesn't end up joining, her role on a ship is 100% that of a lookout.
-
To be fair, I don't see how Carrot's jumping ability is really important to her supposed lookout role. I mean, yeah once or twice she could jump for the extra visual range, but it's not like she will keep jumping at the crow's nest like a spring.

You only need to jump from time to time. If there's nothing on the horizon when you jump super high up, then you're not in any immediate danger. Also, the only time she did that it was for the express purpose of locating something, so it's definitely something she'd do.
Jumping high also lets you see behind things.

Usopp sniping Jango while moving, And at a far distance - An impressive feat.
Chopper's sheer determination in wanting to be a doctor, And wanting to cure every disease - Defining impressive traits for his overall character, which like Sanji's position, is arguably the most important in his journey to curing all diseases.
Brook's ability to play every single instrument, And his morale boosting performanxe of Binks' Sake during the Thriller Bark epilogue. - All impressive musician feats.
Jinbe's ability to steer the ship through a giant wave. An impressive feat.
Carrot jumps into the air - Not so impressive compared to the rest. Hasn't really been depicted as a positive for a lookout on a ship.
Jinbe hasn't even joined the crew yet. Yes, it's obvious that he's going to join, but Oda still hasn't put him in any color spreads, or in the volume intro pages. Claiming he's officially in is like claiming that Brook was in before the end of Thriller Bark, or that Franky was in mid-Enies Lobby. They were "obvious", but for all intents and purposes, not official members of the crew because of how Oda wants to dedicate a chapter to their official joining.
The role of lookout as some major role is very hypothetical, in the sense that it is still a role that hasn't had a single dedicated member on any crew or ship take on the role.

@Galaxy:
Stuff
So basically Usopp being a sniper was his impressive feat as a sniper and Chopper being a doctor was his impressive trait as a doctor.
Also, this: "his morale boosting performance of Binks' Sake". It didn't really happened like that. It was not the song that made the Rumbar Pirates get in high moods, they already were like that before they even started playing (what you could say is that it was Brook's idea of leaving a last message for Laboon that had the morale boost effect on them, which is true, but that has nothing to do with his ability as a musician).
Plus, I would like to point out that the only feat you could find for Brook as a musician prior to him joining actually was performed by him and 4 other guys, not by him alone. Brook sharing the musician position with 4 other people in the only scene we have of him performing this role prior to him joining is overlooked, Carrot sharing the crow's nest two or three times in the almost a dozen times we saw her there is used as detrimental to her chances.It's ok for Usopp, things that early in OP are hard to use as guides, plus his whole position in the crew was kinda blurred for the longest time (not surprising Oda had Usopp clear up what his position was on Skypiea when talking to Conis), but if Oda really saw the necessity of portraying a SH as the bestest there ever was in their position, you can be sure he would have done something different with Chopper and Brook.
I mean, one of the main antagonists in Thriller Bark had the power to make people unable to fight by "depressing" them. It doesn't take a creative genius to see how Brook's music could be used there - showing not just his skills as a musician able to lift everyone's spirit, but also the usefulness of his position in the crew. But no, Oda didn't went there.
As for Chopper, Drum Island was filled with doctors and treatments and everything, there were plenty of chances to show Chopper using his knowledge/skill but still all of them went to Kureha. Would be that hard to simply have Kureha fail to identify the origin of Nami's disease and then Chopper going "wait, I remember reading about something similar in a book"? Even if Oda didn't want to portray Chopper as an active doctor, something like this would show he was particularly insightful and with good potential. But, again, no.Obviously Carrot will need to prove she can be a great lookout at some point if she is meant to keep that position, but that's only because at this point of the story the SH all have grown to be amazing at what they do, not because Oda thinks that is a requirement that must be fulfilled before they join (so, who knows, Carrot scene could even come after she joined instead of before it).

I don't see why they wouldn't still have any influence. There's almost nothing those who are in charge of a ruling nation can't do, they're entirely above any legal or ethical consideration because they make the rules. Besides, look at all the crap Doflamingo got away with before they even made any kind of move on him; no other Shichibukai got that kind of leeway, his status as a Celestial Dragon got him special privileges even then.

Written junk
But both Brook and Chopper were called a musician and a doctor, respectively. Carrot has never been called anything close to lookout. Nor have we seen another clearly labeled lookout designated in the entire series. It's entirely conjecture.
Never mind that Brook and Chopper had other things going for them other than their role on a ship. Like fun personalities and interesting designs. Strong convictions and narrative prominence. Carrot jumps around in the background sometimes and can Mega-Evolve.

Pokemon can mega-evolve every battle. She can't even do that.

Two completely unrelated statements that were done at a different time.
Before Impel Down, he said Luffy would team up with a former boss, it turned out to be Crocodile.
And i think around Dressrosa he gave an interview in which he said that new nakama will show up successively.That was two different statements years apart.
Given the timing the Boss comments was almost certainly talking about the Impel Down crew at the time, and then the multiple joinings later was the Strawhat fleet.
Thank you both. Its been so long ago that I've forgotten when what was said.. and the fact they were separate statements

Was Jimbei's declaration of joining not official, then? I mean, Big Mom couldn't tear away any of his lifeforce because of his devotion to Luffy. It doesn't get much stronger or more meaningful than that.

Nah, he is joining at 910.
Because 9 and 10 :ninja:

Its weird. At the wedding Jimbei said he's joining Luffy and then Luffy said yes. That should be official, right? But then Oda didn't put him with the strawhats in the volume info page. So I guess Oda doesn't consider it official until they celebrate his joining.
-

In all seriousness, I also consider he already joined. He already got the invitation back in FI, all that was keeping him from joining was him cutting his ties with BM. I actually think this page is supposed to be read as Jinbe officially joining the crew.
I mean, he eve started talking about himself as a member of the crew after that scene (not in the future, but now). And let's not forget that new year thing with Shueisha editors counting Jinbe as an official SH (something I doubt they would be allowed to do if he didn't joined already).If this chapter's colorspread is a SH one, I'm 100% sure Jinbe will be in it already.
-
Another thing. Here is the colour spread of the top 20 poll characters, including Luffy, but not including the strawhats. Notice one glaring omission:
-
Oda never includes characters as Strawhats or in Strawhat only color pages before they got their official joining, nothing new. The only exception is Nami in chapter 1. Even Franky´s was more like Strawhat side vs CP9 side, a parallel to what he drew in Alabasta with Baroque Works vs Luffy´s side.

That's not what Avocado is pointing out. That was the colorspread of the last popularity poll, portraying all the Top 20 characters except the SH (Luffy was the exception). Every character in the top20 is there, except the Srawhats. Jinbe placed 6th and he isn't there, so Oda is openly treating him as a current SH.

Can't comment on when the poll was taken in terms of dates, but the results and colorspread were released with Chapter 874. So, not that long ago…
Characters on the colorspread are the non-Strawhats from #1-20. Carrot's listed as #26 (though I've heard there was an error that actually shifts her down to #27).

The fact that you can be a doctor and a musician outside of a ship but you can’t be a lookout helped a little. As for the position of lookout it is a bit the last one remaining after Jinbei took the steerer one
Never mind that Brook and Chopper had other things going for them other than their role on a ship. Like fun personalities and interesting designs. Strong convictions and narrative prominence. Carrot jumps around in the background sometimes and can Mega-Evolve.
Too bad Chopper lost all of them now and has just become as secondary character as carrot is. At least he wouldn’t be the only crew pet she joined

There has been 2 color spreads without him since then. I’m afraid we have to wait for the chapter "the ninth person" before we see him in a color page with the other

It was taken around the wedding. Carrot was 26th on that poll. Although I would assume that she has gone up a few ranks since then due to the stuff around Pedro's death and her Sulong transformation.

I figured it would. I'm just wanting to see all the Minks we've met so far's Sulong forms. Bepo's would probably be awesome.
